943 Giving Herb (6)
Luo Tan gritted her teeth and wanted to go over to help, but she was stopped by Shen Miao. Shen Miao shouted, “Stop! If you don’t want me to hate you, don’t come down.”
Luo Tan was taken aback by Shen Miao’s reproachful words. She felt aggrieved and thought that if she had known that this would happen, she wouldn’t have told Shen Miao what Ben Yue said. Now, she made Shen Miao suffer. She shouted, “This Daoist priest is clearly playing with you. Why do you fall for it?”
“I have never done anything for Jingxing.” Shen Miao didn’t even look up as she cleaned the flowers. “As long as there is a chance, I’ll do it.” She continued, “If you really want to help me, make a lantern for me so that I can see when it gets dark.”
Luo Tan took a deep breath and turned around to see Daoist Priest Chi Yan walking to the other side with a smile. She quickly followed and said, “Daoist priest, listen to me first…”
Shen Miao squatted in the bushes. It had been a long time since she did anything so tiring, so she was a little unaccustomed to it. She did not feel that it was humiliating to pick worms and fertilize the herbs. In this world, pride was not something to have at this time. When it was time to bend down and lower her head, she would bend down and lower her head. In her previous life, she had gone through many hardships to understand this.
If she had given up on competing with Consort Mei earlier, perhaps Consort Mei would not have targeted Fu Ming and Wanyu so much. Why did she have to make herself suffer because of her vain dignity?
If Chi Yan could keep his promise in the end, then it would be worth it for her to suffer. It was much more honorable to do some labor in this desolate mountain than to sit on the empress seat and be mocked by everyone.
However, Shen Miao really did not know how long it would take to clean all the Red Sleeve Flowers in this valley.
When Luo Tan sent the lantern over, the sky was already dark. At night, there was a cool wind, dazzling stars, the moon, and the chirping of cicadas in the valley, but Shen Miao was not in the mood to appreciate it. At night, holding the lantern, she cleaned the flowers one by one. Bitten by the mosquitoes and flies, her delicate skin was red and swollen, and her hand was pricked by the thorn. She did not rest for the entire night.
Luo Tan cried as she watched, but she could not help. She could only curse Chi Yan in her heart.
It was the afternoon of the next day.
Shen Miao wiped the sweat off her forehead and went to ask Daoist Priest Chi Yan to take a look.
Daoist Priest Chi Yan smiled. “There’s no need. You did very well.” He took out a box from his bag and handed it to Shen Miao. Shen Miao opened it and saw a herb lying inside.
“This is the herb.” Daoist Priest Chi Yan smiled and said, “You helped me treat the Red Sleeve Flowers on the mountain, and as I promised, I’ll give you this herb to treat your husband’s injuries.”
“Thank you for this.” Shen Miao was in a hurry to rush back. The moment she received the herb, she felt extremely weak. She had not slept all night and had not rested well these days. Now that she relaxed, she felt dizzy.
“Thank you, Daoist priest.” Luo Tan was very unhappy with the strange request made by this Daoist priest. Looking at Shen Miao’s disheveled appearance, she felt bad. She was very indignant and said, “I also hope that the flowers won’t be infested with worms in the future because no one will be as kind as my little cousin to do so much work for you.”
Daoist Priest Chi Yan laughed out loud. “That’s hard to say. Madam and I are fated to meet three times. We’ve only met twice, and there is one more time in the future.”
Luo Tan pouted angrily. “Who wants to meet you?” She pulled Shen Miao and said, “Let’s get out of here.” She then said to Daoist Priest Chi Yan, “Hurry up. We need this to save life.”
Daoist Priest Chi Yan followed behind. Looking at the two of them, his gaze landed on Shen Miao’s slightly unsteady footsteps. His smile disappeared, and a trace of pity flashed across his eyes.
After a while, he shook his head and said,
“Futile.”
